Police raid South Pattaya ‘swingers party’

A Dutchman and his Thai girlfriend were arrested for allegedly organizing a paid “swingers party” advertised on the Internet at a South Pattaya resort.

Anthony Verloop, 61, and Kanika Kankhay, 42, were taken into custody Jan. 27 when police raided the Ramakiat Resort off Soi 15 after an undercover operative attended the party and informed on happenings to police. Guests, both half-naked Thai and foreigners wrapped in towels, tried to escape. Police recovered 25 condoms, sex toys and advertisements.

Anthony Verloop and Kanika Kankhay are brought in to answer questions about their alleged website advertising the sex parties.

Police said Kanika admitted to launching the website advertising the sex parties and charging guests 2,000 baht each to attend the swimming pool parties every Saturday.

Both suspects were slapped with prostitution and pandering charges. They face up to four years in prison and fines of up to 40,000 baht.
